Salamo 23

1 Salamo nataon’ i Davida.

A psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd: I am never in need.

2 Mampandry ahy amin’ ny ahi-maitso Izy; mitondra ahy eo amoron’ ny rano fialan-tsasatra Izy.

He lays me down in green pastures. He gently leads me to waters of rest,

3 Mamelombelona ny fanahiko Izy; mitarika ahy amin’ ny lalan’ ny fahamarinana noho ny anarany Izy.

he refreshes my life. He guides me along paths that are straight, true to his name.

4 Eny, na dia mandeha mamaky ny lohasaha aloky ny fahafatesana aza aho, dia tsy hatahotra ny loza aho, fa Hianao no amiko; ny tsorakazonao sy ny tehinao, ireo no mahafa-tahotra ahy.

And when my way lies through a valley of gloom, I fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff comfort me.

5 Mamelatra latabatra eo anoloako eo imason’ ny fahavaloko Hianao; manosotra diloilo ny lohako Hianao; ny kapoakako feno dia feno.

You spread a table for me in face of my foes; with oil you anoint my head, and my cup runs over.

6 Eny tokoa, fahasoavana sy famindram-po no hanaraka ahy amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainako, dia hitoetra ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah andro lava aho.

Surely goodness and love will pursue me – all the days of my life. In the house of the Lord I will live through the length of the days.
